Tiny Pancake Breakfast

Breakfast is served, elf style: tiny stacks of pancakes no bigger than a coin, a dot of butter on top of each, and the elf at the head of the table holding a spoon like a chef.

Instructions

The evening before, mix pancake batter and pour it into a squeeze bottle.
An adult squeezes coin-size circles onto the pan and flips them when bubbles appear, about a minute a side.
Let them cool, stack 4 or 5 on each small plate or toy dish, cover and refrigerate.
Before bed, set the table with the stacks, a tiny dab of butter on each, and a few blueberries or mini chocolate chips.
Sit the elf beside the stacks holding a spoon like a chef's spatula.
Warm the stacks for 10 to 15 seconds in the microwave in the morning if you like.

Tip: Short on time? Frozen mini pancakes work just as well and skip the cooking.
